Je te colle cet extrait de h-online qui explique bien les limites de ce qui avait été promis par Sun:
"The patents relate to the implementation of virtual machines, tools and compilers. Although Sun open sourced Java in the form of OpenJDK, under a GPL2 licence, it only assured companies that produced fully compatible Java that it would not use its patent portfolio against them and even then limited that promise to desktop and server implementations, retaining licensing rights for mobile devices.
As far as this promise is concerned it seems incidental to the the suit as it's patent assurances would not have applied to Google. Google implemented its own Dalvik virtual machine without using OpenJDK, runs it on mobile devices and isn't a "fully compatible" Java implementation by design".
